i just sold a glock 19 and all it's mags and a holster to a friend. i live in NY so if i want to buy one again i have to go on the hunt for prebans again. currently i have 2 nighthawk custom 1911s which are a great fit for my hands. problem is, i've been thinking of selling them and buying 2 pistols that are less expensive and more in the realm of beretta m9, glock 17 or sig . with the extra money i could buy mags, buy a noveske upper i have on layaway and a scope for it.
i love the feel of 1911s and the trigger. i want to love glocks because theyre so tough and dependable and really like the new texturing on the newer glocks and also ove the feel of the m9 although i've never fired one.
what should i do?

Keep the 1911s and buy a Glock.  Problem solved.

i forgot to mention that as much as i like glocks, they just sguirm around in my hand. i think thats why i liked the new texturing on glocks newer models. RTF i think. not sure.

you do know it is a sin to sell a 1911

i know. i just thought about it. i remember how bad it felt to trade a wilson i once had. i'll save up and buy a glock or berette in the future. i held my 1911s for 2 seconds and made up my mind.

Then I must be going to hell.  Twice.

Just buy a CZ-75 SAO.

Good decision –– 1911's are the way to go and as I understand it, Nighthawks are top of the line pistols.

Try an FN FNP-9 instead.

Much better ergos than any Glock.

If you are wanting a 9mm you should buy a CZ 75 instead.  Lots of choices in the CZ-75 family.

Good choice. Perhaps the G19RTF will be out when you're ready to buy.

I will second or third the suggestion of getting a CZ-75. I have 1911's, Glock 19 and a CZ-75 Compactn and many others. The CZ is probably one of the nicest "feeling" hanguns I own. It just "fits". Also, CZ's are built like tanks and gobble up anything I have ever put up the pipe.

Should have kept the glock and pre-ban mags, bought another and had grip/frame work done(reduction and/or stippling) like the RTF.

you're right. i wanted another box and a half of 5.56x45 and a buddy wanted the glock. i jumped on it without thinking too long about it. i have to say i am happy to have a few thousand rounds to shoot though.
i'll check out the cz's. are preban mags available? i'm interested in a few .45s also because i don't have to worry about prebans with them . g21sf, m&p45, hk45, p220, but will have to see if theyre too big for me. maybe i'll sell one 1911 and keep the other. i don't know.

the M&P45 has really piqued my interest as did the G19 and beretta 92fs (although finding prebans is expensive and tough). the g21sf and hk45 do too but i havent held them to see how they feel.

So, just run the 10 round mags.

no thanks. i can't get past the fact that the original mags hold 5-7 more rounds. 1 or 2 is fine but 10 rds in a gun that holds 15 or 17. can't do it.

selling both 1911s will get a credit card and taxes owed, paid off, plus buy me a m&p45 or g19 and mags and 2000rds of ammo and holsters. i'll sorely miss them if i do sell them but i'll have some breathing room in my finances and make my credit better. i'll also be able to shoot alot more and take a class. 1911s will always be around. i have a great dealer too. if i sell 1 1911 i can pay off my card and keep the other 1911 but will have to save for ammo and a class.
selling them hurts but paying bills and having ammo and taking a class feels great. aaaagggghhhh!
